A Bugatti for breakfast please .

This is Amilcar heaven. The one seater 1,1 litre 6 cylinder DOHC Supercharged Amilcar MCO. The ultimate development of the C6 racing weapon as conceived by Amilcar in the mid twenties. A light weapon .... beast is not the exact right word to describe this superlight 130 mph (!) victory eater (brush up your French or enjoy the pictures..). It cut countless holes in the mid twenties French competition world. When you click the photo you can enjoy the piece of art hiding under the bonnet. Can you imagine why one of the former (or current?) Honda bosses did not rest before he had one of these slim 6 cylinder rockets in his collection? Let's see what this weekend's bidders at Christie's Rétromobile Auction have to say. But if the car ever will be as fast again as in the hands of André Morel, José Scaron, Maurice Mestevier or Serge Pozzoli? (photos courtesy Christie's) check pre-war entries ; and post-war entries
